I will plan to write a post that will cover the basics of setting up semantic searches. If you don't see it soon enough, feel free to give me a friendly "nudge" to get moving on it. But it is in the works - thanks for the feedback and suggestion! Heather,

However, I do not know how to start one from scratch. Do you have an entry that goes over the basics of setting up a semantic search?

We have a demonstration of this at www.truevert.com. This one is a green search engine. It has been trained on a set of green documents to understand what words mean in a green context. It could just as well be trained on a set of job requirements and resumes to understand what words mean in that context. Then when you search for Java, it will understand that you want the programming language, not the island or the coffee. On Truevert, when you search for CFL, it gives you pages about compact fluorescent light bulbs, not the Canadian Football League. If you search for meat, it gives pages about organic meat, and the impact of raising meat on the environment. We are licensing this technology for use in other verticals. No tags, taxonomies, ontologies, or thesauri required. Thanks, Herb There is an alternative way to do semantic searching. We have a demonstration of this at http://www.truevert.com.
